Excerpt
The satin bedspread was of pale rose pink, to match the curtains, carpets, and general scheme of upholstery; the silk lace-trimmed nightdress was of sky blue—that incontestable sky blue which may be seen round Putney on Boat-Race day, and decorating the starched white gowns of happy Hampstead holidaymakers on the first Monday in August—to match the extraordinarily innocent eyes of its wearer; and the bunch of curls lying on the dressing-table was tinted dull delicate primrose—yellow to match a few strands of soft hair straying across a much-frilled linen pillowcase marked with the monogram of the Hotel Magni-ique, Chateau du Leys, Normandy.
